ABSTRACT
The development of wind power in India began in the 1986 with first wind farms being
set up in coastal areas of Maharashtra (Ratnagiri), Gujarat (Okha) and Tamil Nadu
(Tuticorin) with 55 kW Vestas wind turbines. These demonstration projects were
supported by MNRE. The capacity has significantly increased in the last few years.
Although a relative newcomer to the wind industry compared with Denmark or the
United States, India has the fourth largest installed wind power capacity in the world.
In 2009-10 India's growth rate was highest among the other top four countries.
III. PRINCIPLE
When a fluid flows toward the leading edge of a bluff
body, the pressure in the fluid rises from the free steam
pressure to the stagnation pressure. When the flow speed is
low, i.e. the Reynolds number is low, pressure on both sides
of the bluff body remains symmetric and no turbulence

VII. CONCLUSION
The issue of global climate change and the growing
energy demand induce a need for innovative energy
harvesting devices. Geophysical flows represent a widely
available source of clean energy, useful to tackle the global
energy demand using for example wind turbines, marine
turbines or wave energy converters. Yet, the energy density
in geophysical flows is small, and large systems are required
in order to harvest significant amount of energy.
The turbine generator is the most mature method for flow
energy harvesting. However, the efficiency of conventional
turbines reduces with their sizes due to the increased effect
of friction losses in the bearings and the reduced surface
area of the blades. Furthermore, rotating components such
as bearings suffer from fatigue and wear, especially when
miniaturised. These drawbacks of turbine generators urges
emergence of a new area in energy harvesting, i.e. energy
harvesting from flow induced vibration. The flow here
includes both liquid flow and air flow. There are three main
types of energy harvester of this kind. They are energy
harvesting from vortex-induced vibration (VIV), flutter
energy harvesters and energy harvesters with Helmholtz
resonators.
Flow-induced vibration, as a discipline, is very important
in our daily life, especially in mechanical engineering.
Generally, scientists try to avoid flow-induced vibration in
buildings and structures to reduce possible damage.
Recently, such vibration has been investigated as an energy
source that can be used to generate electrical energy. Two
types of flow-induced vibration are studied so far: vortex-
induced vibration and flutter.
